A:
You can file a Board Complaint with the TN Board of Professional Responsibility
against her License. But I would go in person to the Firm first and demand the paid for services be completed, or ask for your money and file. Do not get in an argument. Executing that many instruments at once is usually bad as the Client will not be informed adequately about how to implement them, especially the Will and POA.
